Now that the overall framework and rectification process of the umbrella are all done, the rest will be much easier to handle!

However, the HR department of the umbrella is quite special and cannot be easily mined from other companies. It requires not only professionalism in HR, but also a good understanding of military matters.

Ordinary HR must be acclimatized!

Sean looked at Little John, "I need your help to find information among the retired military officers over the years. Is there anyone who has engaged in HR work after retirement? Even if the work experience is not that rich, HR is easy to learn.

Regarding the military aspect, there is no way to understand it without military experience.”

"I'll try." Little John agreed.

In addition to this matter, Little John also suggested that it would be best to have some cooperation with the military to gain some experience during the company's reorganization.

This thing cannot be seen from the outside. You must actually explore it to know the depth, shallowness, thickness and thickness.

The matter was settled for the time being, and the next day, Sean went to Washington with Little John and Weinberg.

In the secret villa that he had previously ordered Norris to buy, Sean once again met several senior military officials who had dinner together last time.

Regarding the garrison mission during the construction of the Moroccan naval air base, they just mentioned it and passed by without anyone taking it seriously.

The military is not spending its own money, and Sean doesn't care about the profit.

Just get used to it.

After a meal, Little John smiled and talked about his retirement life, and everyone understood it tacitly.

After the meal, Sean stood up and left. Of course, Norris had other arrangements for the old men, which was enough for them to be happy.

…

"What?" Sean looked at Lorraine in front of him in disbelief.

"Telephone, Gaddafi." Lorraine clicked to show that Sean heard correctly.

"Why is he calling me?" Sean wondered, but picked up anyway.

"Mr. Sean, I'm glad to be on the phone with you. I believe you know who I am." Gaddafi's voice came from the phone.

Sean raised his eyebrows, oh, I know what does it have to do with introducing myself to you?

"Of course, who in the world doesn't know Mr. Gaddafi's name!" Sean complimented casually.

Ka DaZuo's hearty laughter came from the phone. Sean was about to ask where Ka DaZuo got his phone number from, but he heard Ka DaZuo's voice coming from the phone again, "Mr. Sean, I'm calling here because I want to

Invite you to have a meal and come to Libya. I believe we will have a pleasant dinner."

What Sean heard was a black line on his forehead. Are you really sick? Why would I come all the way to have a meal with you?

I know there must be something wrong with Ka Dazuo, but you just have to say it directly. Why are you talking so much nonsense?

Do I have time to play with you?

However, Colonel Card's next words made Sean agree, "I heard that Mr. Sean is a pure businessman and would not dare to set foot in Libya because of the tense relationship between the United States and us."

Ha, Sean twitched his lips, "Of course, capital is free and has no borders. I will go to Libya as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, Sean cursed in a low voice, saying he was crazy, and then ordered Lorraine: "Send me the latest intelligence on Cardano and Libya."

Lorraine went to prepare, and Sean was not idle either. Today he and Weinberg would go to the White House to visit President Reagan.

In addition to the mission of the Foot Covering Building, we must also fight for the protective umbrella of government missions. Now that the military contractor market is developing rapidly, we must seize time.

The appointment with Reagan was in the afternoon, that is, Sean and Weinberg were here. If it were someone else, they wanted to make an appointment with the president of the world's largest country a day in advance. What a waste!

As soon as Lorraine left, Monroe opened the door and walked in. He came in a hurry from New York. Sean didn't know how many days he could stay in the United States, so he had to hurry up and deal with official duties.

Currently, in addition to Umbrella's business, the most important thing is the construction of Monero's credit card system.

Like Katzenberg's film company, Sean didn't have the energy to take care of it at all. He just heard that "Goodfellas" had been released and that Michelle Yeoh and Maggie Cheung's movies were about to be released.

Sean guessed that he wouldn't have time to attend any premiere.

"The card machine system was laid out quite smoothly. The system server was provided by IBM, and the price is reasonable." Monroe began to report as soon as he sat down. "In terms of data transmission, we have cooperated with six telephone companies.

The solution is that currently no phone company can build a network across the United States and can only choose the largest service provider in each state."

"IBM thinks there is no problem. Although the data has been cut, the problem of aggregation can be solved by using an interim method. Set up a base point on the east and west coasts respectively, and conduct data exchange every three days. Only a few people can really fly between the east and west frequently.

This kind of people should be the best customers, so even if their card is depleted, it won’t be a big problem.”

"We have estimated the bad debt rate and it can be tolerated."

"What's the problem?" Sean asked with a smile.

"The merchant has pre-installed the card machine!" Monroe said solemnly: "Once we officially start processing credit cards, then the merchant must have a card swiping machine when customers use it."

"But the problem now is that we have not officially withdrawn from the credit card swiping business. This is still a new concept in the world. Even VISA is only applicable to hotels and official business. It is very different from us. Even so, ordinary people have not listened.

Pass VISA.”

"In this case, merchants are not willing to spend a lot of money to install a credit card machine!"

Sean frowned, "That is to say, without a credit card machine, we can't open a credit card, and if credit cards are not popular, merchants will not be willing to install a credit card machine!"

"Yes, an endless loop!" Monroe said in a deep voice.

"Isn't it possible that the promotion department has nothing to do?" Sean asked with a sullen face.

"Inviting celebrities to advertise, plus newspapers and TV stations to promote the new concept on a large scale, let the whole country know about it, and then promote it, but I don't think this will work, the effect will not be very good, and the results will be very slow, and it will not solve the fundamental problem.

Regarding the endless loop problem, the effect may be good when the trend first arises, but soon the trend will be diluted by other news, and then nothing will be left." Monroe said with a frown.

Sean nodded, he thought so too, but how to solve this endless loop is really difficult!

This is unlike later generations, when everyone knew the concept of credit cards.

Concept, concept…

Sean muttered, and there was a vague idea in his mind.

Waving his hand to silence Monroe, Sean leaned on the sofa, covering his eyes with one hand and began to think deeply.

In fact, although the promotion department's ideas are old-fashioned, old-fashioned also means insurance, with a high lower limit.

Just change it a little bit!

Moreover, you can’t just rely on advertising, you can also add some promotion techniques.

"I have an idea. Let's go to Hollywood tonight and talk to Katzenberg." After a long while, Sean smiled and said: "I'm going to the White House later. I have no choice, poor man.

A life of hard work.”

Monroe opened his mouth, and originally wanted to say, "Okay, I'll wait here," but Sean choked him and coughed on the spot.

Versailles and so on, I hate people the most!

…

During lunch, Lorraine sent over information about Cardano and Libya in recent years.

It's not confidential information, but it's enough.

In 1980, the United States declared Libya a "state sponsor of terrorism" and closed its embassy in Libya.

In 1981, U.S. Navy aircraft shot down two Libyan aircraft and the two countries severed diplomatic relations.

In 1986, then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan ordered the cessation of economic and trade relations with Libya and the freezing of Libyan assets in the United States. Since then, military conflicts have occurred one after another between the United States and Libya.

In the early morning of April 15, 1986, the United States dispatched 3 aircraft carriers, 34 other ships, and hundreds of aircraft, including 18 F-111 fighter-bombers, to conduct a surprise air strike code-named "Golden Canyon" against Libya.

Large-scale ultra-low-altitude bombings of the capital Tripoli and the important port city of Benghazi resulted in the loss of a total of 14 aircraft, 5 radar stations and more than 700 casualties in Libya.

After suffering repeated attacks from the United States, according to normal logic, Libya will be very nervous. However, if the Chairman of the Organization of African Unity and the King of Kings, Kadanozo, bows his head, then he is not Kadanozo!

Even in the face of the U.S. economic blockade and military strikes, Cardano still kept clamoring internationally, from the United Nations to the African Union. Reagan was very distressed by this. This is a toad that falls on his feet and does not bite.

People respond to others in a different way.

In addition to challenging the United States, Cardano is also confronting France!

Chad, one of the poorest countries in the world, fell into civil war within a few years of its independence in 1960. In 1983, Colonel Cardzoux ordered to intervene in the Chadian civil war and occupied the northern region of Chad in the name of supporting the northern rebels. The French

The forces were driven out.

Of course, this will not delay Libyan oil exports to France, Italy, Spain and other Western European countries.

A war is a war, and business is a business.

In August of the same year, the French began to vigorously support the southern Chadian government forces in establishing a defense line in the central region to resist Cardano's attack.

After the United States bombed Cardasso last year, Chadian President Houssein Habré saw an opportunity and began a counterattack with the support of France.

Interestingly, the information shows that the fighting was originally at a stalemate, but in the first two months, Habré saw the Western Front, supported by Sean, using pickup trucks as transportation vehicles to stir up trouble and rain on the sand embankment line, causing the Moroccan troops to complain.

Afterwards I was greatly inspired.

With the help of France, a large number of Toyota cars were imported through Cameroon, and anti-aircraft machine guns, small mortars, rocket launchers and other weapons were mounted in the rear compartments to start mobile warfare.

Sure enough, this attack made Colonel Kazuo complain incessantly. The armored troops couldn't defeat the Toyota convoy...

Defeated steadily!

So... "Ka Dazuo is in a hurry?" Sean looked at the information and couldn't laugh or cry on his face, "He didn't ask me to help him solve this 'Toyota Tactics', right?"
To be continued...
